Reviews

[Toti]

Por fin, un libro de teoría de la traducción ÚTIL. Y Morry Sofer es un amor.

[Roberta]

While a little dated now, this is an excellent book to begin with if you are planning to get into translating as a job. It contains helpful hints, a list of resources, some of which are still valid, a history of the industry, and a number of funny translation slip-ups from around the world.

This resource forms part of my Interpreter/Translator library.
